WHERE IS

MILFORD SOUND NEW ZEALAND?

Milford Sound New Zealand is arguably the most scenic destination in New Zealand. Milford Sound is located at the northern most end of the 3 million acre Fiordland National Park, this also forms part of a large UNESCO world heritage area known as ‘Te Wahipounamu’ (place of Greenstone). Milford Sound bounded by steep cliffs and dense alpine rain forest continues to captivate even the most seasoned of travelers. Rising 1,692 vertical metres from Milford Sound is its most famous land mark, ‘Mitre Peak’ one of the highest mountain peaks in the world to rise directly from the sea.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

QUENNIE LYN

Everyone on the tour had a 'strangers turned friends' relationship and the BBQ Bus really offered us a very enjoyable and one of a kind experience. My friends and I were very grateful and will surely recommend them to everyone. It's worth the price - we took home enormous amount of memories to be treasured forever! - Traveled August 2017

My husband and I booked the BBQ bus tour largely because we wanted a smaller, more personable, group setting to experience Milford Sound. We are so glad we found The BBQ Bus. We loved every minute of the trip and were especially grateful to have Marty as our guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to go to many beautiful scenic stops along the way that other bigger tour buses are not able to. The BBQ lunch sitting together surrounded by the mountains served us not only delicious food, but incredible views as well. Experiencing the wonder of Milford Sound and the journey along the way with The BBQ Bus is one of the top experiences of our many travels thus far!

The BBQ Bus Milford Sound tour was better than my husband & I could have possibly imagined.

The bus was small & comfortable as promised (only 15 of us) and the drive was absolutely breathtaking! We stopped in the perfect places for photos and to take brief walks, the BBQ - in a secluded spot by a meadow & forest, was delightful & absolutely delicious. We arrived in Milford at an ideal time to avoid the crowds and departed on our scenic cruise (highlights were Mitre Peak, seals, waterfalls, & going all the way to the opening of the Tasman Sea). On the bus drive back, we were treated to a wholesome entertaining New Zealand produced movie.

Rob, our host for the day, was professional, quick witted, efficient, a safe driver, personable, a great chef, & very informative about the culture and geography....but didn't constantly talk, which was refreshing.
